I wish it were you Chapter 759 A Feast of PDA
That soft “Kendrick” made the big boss go completely weak. It was even more powerful than calling him “husband.”This was the first time she had ever called his name so intimately in private.So, he quickly returned the gesture, giving the little woman a kiss. “You’re welcome, Anna.”They exchanged a smile.Suddenly, Annabelle realized—oh no! Jaime was still here! How embarrassing!“You two continue chatting. I’m leaving,” she said, blushing as she stood up, ready to flee the living room.Kendrick grabbed her hand, stopping her.Jaime, with the knowing smile of a single man, said, “Madam doesn’t have to leave. I’ve finished my report. You two carry on. I’ve had my fill of PDA today, so I’ll be heading out.”Kendrick shot him a glare. Tsk! This guy’s getting cheeky now?Smirking, he picked up an orange and made a throwing motion toward Jaime.The assistant bolted immediately, not giving his boss the chance.Annabelle hadn’t expected Jaime to be this amusing, and she doubled over laughi

The call was made to Tokyo. A landline.After four rings, a voice came from the other end—Scott’s.Kendrick closed his eyes briefly. “So, you are there.”“There was an issue. I told you before.” Scott’s voice was low, carrying a hint of strain.“Are you coming back or not?”Before he could answer, Kendrick continued, “It’s up to you whether you return or not. I’m just calling because Anna mentioned that before Julissa’s accident, she told Anna she was still waiting for you. And it was you who told her to wait.”“She’s waiting for me?”“You can ask her yourself. Since Julissa is Anna’s friend—and also a good girl—I’m calling to remind you: if you haven’t figured things out, don’t toy with her feelings. Know who’s worth cherishing and who isn’t. Make sure your priorities are clear.”There was silence on the other end before Scott chuckled.“Kendrick, do you really think I’m that foolish?”“Heh.”“Or do you see me as that much of a jerk?”“Who knows.” Kendrick deliberately jabbed at him.

The night before, when Julissa was rushed to the hospital, Annabelle had already given her a quick pulse diagnosis.At the time, her pulse showed signs of severe vitality depletion—a harbinger of death. That was why Annabelle had been so terrified.After hours of emergency treatment, Julissa’s condition had finally stabilized, though she remained extremely weak due to blood and energy deficiency.Even though she had survived the night and was out of immediate danger, she still needed careful care. A serious illness, if not properly nursed, could leave lasting complications.Annabelle planned to prepare a medicinal formula to help replenish Julissa’s energy and blood, aiding her recovery.However, some of the necessary ingredients were not available in her current stock, and the rarer ones weren’t commonly sold in regular herbal medicine shops.She decided that once Julissa woke up and her condition was more stable, she would make a trip to the mountains to collect the herbs from Uncle

Seeing the disappointment on Julissa’s face, Annabelle could easily guess—she must have been waiting for news from Scott. It seemed she truly cared about him. But with her low spirits and weak body, Julissa soon drifted back to sleep. Around 8 PM, Liam arrived. Annabelle told him that Julissa had just fallen asleep, and there was no telling when she would wake up. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay with her for a while. If she’s still asleep by nine, I’ll leave.” Annabelle sighed inwardly but didn’t say anything more. When Liam had arrived earlier, he had seemed visibly excited—perhaps because he knew Julissa had regained consciousness. However, he kept his voice low, not wanting to disturb her. Now that he had confirmed Julissa’s condition was stable, he let out a noticeable sigh of relief. He pulled up a chair beside her bed and sat quietly, simply watching over her. Seeing the way he looked at Julissa, Annabelle started to believe Kendrick’s theory. Kendrick had once said that Li

After waking up, Julissa found herself thinking—if she had really died, her biggest regret would have been all the words left unsaid.All the unspoken feelings that could never be answered, especially those concerning Scott…Did he know she was in the hospital? He probably did, right?As soon as Anna requested leave for her, the company would have been informed. And if Scott didn’t receive her reports and emails, he would have asked about her.But Anna hadn’t mentioned anything about him. And there were no messages from him on her phone.He was still in Tokyo. Probably busy…A wave of disappointment washed over her.How could he say he liked her, tell her to think carefully before giving him an answer, and then act so indifferent afterward?Could it be that Scott was really such a straight-laced man that he expected her to quietly contemplate for a whole month before deciding whether or not to be with him?“How does he treat you?” Liam suddenly asked.Julissa thought for a moment. “He

From the man’s travel-worn appearance and anxious gaze, Liam instantly deduced that this must be the "Mr. Nichols" Julissa had mentioned.No wonder she was drawn to him—this man was indeed exceptional.For someone as proud and competitive as Liam, it was a rare moment of defeat. An unspoken sense of inadequacy surfaced within him.“Anna, is that you?” A weak voice came from inside the hospital room.Scott’s brows furrowed.Was this really the same lively, chatterbox Julissa? She looked so fragile—she must have suffered quite a bit.He set down his suitcase, which still bore the airline’s baggage tag, and gave Liam a slight nod before striding inside.Approaching the hospital bed, he took in her pale complexion, and his brows furrowed even deeper.He rubbed his palms together to warm them before gently wrapping his hand around hers.“Does it hurt?”As he spoke, he reached out to touch her forehead. He wasn’t a doctor, but as long as she didn’t have a fever, things shouldn’t be too bad.

Julissa’s lips curled into a smile as she nodded eagerly.Though neither of them had mentioned the confession from before, she could feel that something between them had subtly changed.This time, after his business trip, the invisible barrier between them had thinned to the point where it was like a fragile cicada’s wing—so delicate that even a gentle breeze could shatter it.The anticipation of this budding relationship felt completely different from anything she had experienced before.For the first time, she could genuinely feel Scott’s affection for her.Even though he had a sharp tongue, never uttered sweet words, and had never made any promises, she just knew.It was something she had never felt before—not even when she was with Liam.Had her past relationship been a joke? Well, there was no need to question it—it truly had been.Speaking of Liam… why was he still here?Scott had gone to fetch her gifts, so Julissa turned to Liam and said, “You should go home now. My friend is

“I got it.”Scott took the capsule toy from her hands and gave it a slight twist. The transparent shell popped open, and he took out the tiny cartoon figure inside.As Julissa reached out to take it, her fingers brushed against his palm.Scott didn’t let go. Instead, he clasped her hand—along with the tiny figure—firmly in his palm.“Did you miss me?”His sudden question nearly made Julissa’s heart leap out of her chest.For someone usually so outspoken and straightforward, she was suddenly at a loss for words. Her face flushed as she lowered her gaze and gave a small nod.She had thought about him almost every day. The less he reached out, the more her longing for him grew uncontrollably.Lately, she had even started checking Tokyo’s weather forecast—because she had heard that after circling around on business trips, he had returned there.She wanted to know what he was doing on the other side of the sea.Who he was meeting.What he was eating.Whether he ever thought of her.Since h

I wish it were you Chapter 800 I Forgive You
Annabelle sneezed and turned to glance behind her.She and the young master had already climbed partway up the mountain, walking along a small stone path. The return route seemed steep, and the mountain appeared to be empty except for the two of them. Yet, just a moment ago, she had inexplicably felt as though someone had called her.“Are you already too tired to go on?” The young master stood a little higher up, smiling and waving at her to catch up.Annabelle took a couple of deep breaths. The cool air stung her fragile lungs, causing a slight ache. She hadn’t exercised this much in a long time, and it was a bit much for her, but she still quickened her pace to catch up with the young master.The young master pulled a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to her. "Drink some water."Annabelle took a few sips, returned the bottle to him, and then wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.“Do you remember when I took you hiking when you were a c
I wish it were you Chapter 799 His Conviction
“She left temporarily.” Kendrick replied.The longer they were apart, the more convinced he became that something was wrong on Anna’s end.That was why he had stopped waiting for her call.Instead, he was focusing on delivering a powerful counterattack against Ryan.Perhaps, once he defeated Ryan, Anna would naturally return to him.“I told you before—if you couldn’t protect her properly, you should’ve handed her over to me. And now? You’ve lost her!” Marvin said bitterly.“Are you done? You can leave now.”Marvin let out a cold snort and tossed a document onto his desk.“Just to be clear, I’m not helping you—I’m helping the Gregory family.”Kendrick narrowed his eyes, picked up the document, and skimmed through it quickly.“Looks like you’re not as useless as I thought.”Marvin lifted his chin arrogantly. “Just make sure the Gregory Group survives first. Then, go find Anna. When that time comes, I’ll still compete with you for her—I only acknowledge you as my rival in love!”With tha

The young master smiled at her. “Let me check your pulse first.”“Alright…”Annabelle extended her wrist, allowing him to take her pulse.She had actually already checked herself—there was nothing wrong aside from some lingering weakness.Still, she waited for his assessment.After a moment, he smiled. “You're recovering well, but you're too weak—probably due to a lack of exercise. How about this? Anna, accompany me for a hike today, and afterward, I'll take you back to Elfhedge.”Hearing his promise, Annabelle let out a sigh of relief.“Alright, let’s go now!”She had wanted to get out for a while now.And with spring just beginning, she longed to go out and enjoy the fresh air.So, they changed into comfortable hiking clothes, left the villa, and followed a mountain path into the depths of the forest.Anna walked ahead, while Ryan followed behind.Watching her slightly pale face, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain—along with a deep sense of guilt, knowing that he was the one

First, the Gregory Group’s business partners were poached by the the Whitney Group. Then, the the Whitney Group aggressively competed for market share, swiftly taking over more than half.Next, Kendrick’s research and development projects were overtaken, with core team members breaking their contracts to join the the Whitney Group.To make matters worse, a newly developed the Gregory Group real estate project was exposed for having quality issues. Rumors even spread that it was built on a graveyard, bringing bad luck.This series of blows left Kendrick in a dire financial situation.Smaller projects also suffered under the Whitney Group’s suppression.In short, he was being forced into an increasingly passive position.The business world was like this—fierce battles fought in the open, and silent killings carried out in the dark.One could rise to glory in an instant—or collapse just as quickly.This time, Ryan hadn’t sent any assassins.Yet, he was still pushing Kendrick toward destr
I wish it were you Chapter 796 Do Not Miss Me
The next morning, Jax arrived at Lavender Villa and reported his latest investigation findings to Kendrick in the living room.The gang that Annabelle and Uncle Trey encountered that day was indeed out for revenge on behalf of the ex-convict.They had been watching Anna for a while, following her and Uncle Trey into the mountains of their own accord—not under anyone’s orders.As for how Ryan knew Anna’s exact location, Jax placed a transparent plastic bag on the coffee table. Inside was a small black device, about the size of a keyboard keycap.“This was found under Anna’s car,” Jax explained. “A tracker, likely planted by Ryan’s men.”That was how Ryan had pinpointed Anna’s location. He must have noticed the abnormal speed and route of her car that day and rushed over immediately.As for why Kendrick had failed to arrive in time—Jax had also tracked down those responsible for the road obstructions.They had, without a doubt, been acting under orders. And it was almost certain that th
I wish it were you Chapter 795 Easy to Love, Hard to Leave
When two people are deeply intimate, even the slightest emotional shift in one can be immediately sensed by the other.Scott noticed it the moment Julissa became distracted.He pulled away from her lips.“What are you thinking about? You’re so absent-minded,” he said, displeased.Julissa hesitated, unsure how to bring it up.How was she supposed to tell him… that she had been with another man?Of course, she could choose to hide it or simply never mention her past. But what if he did care?If he did, then he was nothing more than a controlling chauvinist. And in that case, they wouldn’t be happy together anyway.She had always felt that men who obsessed over whether their girlfriend was a virgin had a strange kind of psychological fixation. Even if they got married, he might eventually use it against her, turning it into a weapon of humiliation and resentment.If that was the case, then she should leave now rather than later.She acknowledged that her drunken mistake had been impulsiv
I wish it were you Chapter 794 Guarding Against the ‘Wolf’
That day, as Mrs. Hickman left the hospital, she continued reminding Julissa to always protect herself as a young woman.Julissa was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear. In the end, she pretended to feel unwell, which was the only way to finally make her mother stop.That night, after finishing his work, Scott arrived at the hospital to keep her company.For the past few days, Julissa had been telling her parents that Anna was staying with her at night, and when Anna wasn't available, a nurse would take over.In reality, it had always been Scott by her side.Now that her parents knew about their relationship, they did something unprecedented before she went to bed—they video-called her.They said they just wanted to check in on her, but Julissa knew the truth: they weren’t comfortable leaving her alone with Scott in the hospital room.They even had lingering doubts about his identity. It was probably hard for them to believe that their daughter had actually found herself a powerful
I wish it were you Chapter 793 How Should She Explain It to Him?
The husband and wife exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's concerns.As for whether the young man's words were true or not, they would need to privately question their daughter—or better yet, do some investigating themselves.Scott sensed their unease and guessed they wanted to have a talk with Julissa. Understanding the situation, he tactfully stood up, saying he had work to attend to and would return later in the evening.Before leaving, he glanced at Julissa. "Get some rest. I'll be back later."Julissa waved at him absentmindedly, feeling a wave of relief now that the "meeting" was over. At least nothing too disastrous had happened.As soon as Scott stepped out of the hospital room, he let out a deep breath. His back was already damp with sweat.That was more nerve-wracking than a business negotiation...But he could tell that Julissa’s parents were honest, down-to-earth people who deeply loved their daughter. Growing up in such a warm and caring family, it was n
I wish it were you Chapter 792 The Father-in-Law Examines His Future Son-in-Law
Previously, Julissa had never formally introduced Scott to her parents. Every time they visited, she would find an excuse to send him away.Besides, Scott was busy during the day, with too much company business to handle. Most of the time, he only visited at night.Her parents had only met him once before, and at that time, Julissa had brushed it off, saying he was just a colleague.Well, that cover story wasn’t going to work anymore.Her parents had caught them kissing. There was no way she could still claim they were just coworkers—that would just be shameless.Julissa decided to come clean.“Dad, Mom, let me formally introduce you. This is my… boyfriend, Scott.”The word boyfriend still felt unfamiliar coming out of her mouth. She didn’t dare to look at her parents’ expressions, for some reason feeling like she had committed a crime just by being in a relationship.“Yeah, we figured,” her father said, clearly displeased that she had kept this from them.Then, he turned to Scott, hi
